their Bengaluru office it is so near my house so works for me. There is no firing in my projects as many others have written in other reviews.
Dislikes
I am hired to work with clients as Accenture team and their client Central Provident Fund CPF Singapore. My salary company is optimum infosystem (some place they call them optimum solutions some place infosystem). We are a big team here in Bengaluru. Technology is very old but the work is going fine. No connection with payroll company. We work with Accenture team mostly who lead design and development planning. That team is very immature sometimes. A lot of times whenever we give any good design idea they take it to their end client as their own work. This project is going good but I dont see much future growth and payroll company is also not investing in any training. These aspects need to be taken care of. One another thing is the quality of restrooms. Women restroom hygiene is a mess, I have made many complaints to management team who sit in office but no action taken. Not sure who reads this in the company but want to put here....Read More

Very unpredictable nature of job
Dislikes
I was hired as a developer in a major bank project. The optimum company people did not care about billing people like us. We get a theoptimum.tech email address. Company management people have theoptimum.net address. No one explained why there are 2 different email address within same company. They used to call us for interview panel work. But after first 2-3 times they stopped paying us any incentive to do interview. They will call during weekday weekend all the time. Still I did many interviews for them. However when client said project over they gave me notice to leave company. I accommodated company requests whenever they need help. But when time came they promptly fired me. Very cheap attitude people. I dont know other locations but Pune team is very bad. My recommendation is not join them....Read More
Culture is to fire people when project is over. As long as client billing happened they keep you. When client says project release they will fire you. They have different different notice period for different people. We Developers most have longer notice period. BPO people have shorter. I was surprised to know that within developersdifferent client project people have different notice. So company by itself has no policy they issue letter based on client notice. I dont know if this is also allowed. My advises is do not join this company for starting good ctc. Not worthy. When project over your life in compeny is over....Read More

Wasted my time on this company
Dislikes
I have worked with the company from jan 2022 onwards. I was put to client project. It was wfh commited. However client want people in office. After joining I had no choice. I was forced to go to client office 2-3 times a week or even more. No transparency in this company. Straight away cheated. Now my project is ending in Aug2023 and company HR gives notice to quit the company saying no new project they have. If no project then its company problem. They did not give me interview chance now at all. Just deciding I will be okay to move. I referred few people to the company few days back. Now I told all of them also to not join as things are difficult here. No promo. Bad hike last year 3% only even though client gave good client rating....Read More

The way they convince and hire people to the company they are very good, even when nothing is there in the company. While it is not a good quality I like it.
Dislikes
They did a mass layoff today. For a client called CTOS team worked on a very important project and delivered it 3 months back. The timelines were unreasonable impractical from Day 1 but we made is happen by putting long hours many weeks and weekends. THe product had issue in productions but we went a and fixed it. We know that thisproject has reached at least this stage because of us but part of client team think otherwise. So they did a mass layoff today. THe payroll company Optimum happily also released us from the project. No one asked what happened. There is no one from the payroll company to handle this as we are all doing just staffing work. This is a very bad thing they did. To also record same client only awarded this team just few weeks back but now they want to fire. What a change in short time when nothing has happened....Read More

The company induction team PMO was very friendly. Took care of initial days and keeps talking every few weeks to find how what work I am doing in client site. That is only connection to company. Else just get salary end of month. No other connection to parent company. Just put in client site thats all. They forget us.
Dislikes
When I joined it was good. I asked my manager for some training reimbursement. He rudely said they will not reimburse just do your work. Then when I asked to do some certification they said do on my own cost. When I asked if my project will extend or I should see another project he said he will take care. I kept on asking and did not get a response. Then few days back client said project over. Thats all. I immediately got exit notice. They ask me to resign saying I want to leave. I refused. They itself sent a mail exit in 30 days. How much long I worked for them. They say they have bench policy when hiring. Now their bench policy is zero days bench. very rough dealing HR team, Just take phone and say people are fired. I asked for another project, Manager told my skill is not regular skill they use in other account they will fire me. That means they hire when they need then immediately fire by giving notice. When I ask what skill they have proejct they said only java people they keep on bench, Hire then use then fire. Sounds dirty place. Dont ever try in my view ok....Read More

They are a group of people who want only billing with people. Project over means fire people.
Dislikes
This company people are only interested in billing us. When my project notice was told by client they immediately called me and and gave notice to exit. They told they have 15-20 clients in Bangalore and more than 40 in India. I was ready to relocate also. Company said they cant wait for clearing interviews and all and just gave notice. Very narrow minded small scale company. Poorly managing things....Read More

I worked for a major bank customer of this company. Just 2 months back I was awarded Best employee award but now since my project is ending in August they recently gave me notice to exit company. Pathetic point is they try speaking about my performance. When I confront they changed tune and say project over. I am trying to speak to my manager but he has no idea how to deal the situation. If there is no multiple project why do they hire people. May be just to get billing only. This is body shopping company. All lies when they say they have many client with same technology and all. At least my previous company told clear clear it is just staffing role and they can exit me anytime. Here in this Optimum company they give false promise and cheat people....Read More
Salary entry is good. Office looks good. They have a lot of people from Tier 1 companies in senior level but some behave like job portal people.
Dislikes
I was in a Development project in Digital Banking for more than 1.5 years. When client gave notice of project closure I was given a notice to leave the company also. It was such a shock, I was not even given chance to work in another project. When I asked for another project I was told there are no project and no bench time allowed.That's the problem with the company. They give a picture of a large company but they are just job placement office. Nothing more. I was so overjoyed when I joined but now realize the mistake. Stick to companies that have enough clients and projects....Read More

It all started and project was going okay now we have no idea what is happening
Dislikes
There was almost a full Optimum members team that was released from a project for a client called CTOS. In this account people are getting fired at random. No accountability from client side, no response from consultancy company optimum also. We are all worried about this happening in our projects also in a few days may be. Also clients also want us to work all days from office. If we come bit delay means they will shout and create scene. We all dont have much career building here and dont see any growth and why we do things like this. I should not have joined here at all. Now suddenly have to search job within 8 month of joining. Poorly managed place....Read More

The offer process and joining was very smooth. Paid on time. Relocation money was good.
Dislikes
They are a company tying to do many things but finally do nothing. They started new client project CTOS and I joined in Dec 2022 in Chennai. All the time we were working on releases and implementation windows are very small. Client did a transition work but that was not sufficient. We ask team for more help but they said no more transition you are to work independently. Client has not idea what all to do. Optimum contract company also no idea how to handle this. Impact is we are all getting release from project saying we are poor performer. Many people got released already in this client. Point is you take panga with clients they will throw you out. If your team manager cannot talk for you it is worthless working here. Very painful experience last many months in this place....Read More

Actually nothing at all. Very bad time I had.
Dislikes
No employee engagement for people outside their office
They do some event every month but open only for their admin employees
Manager not contactable except when timesheet need to en filled
No idea what company does otherwise. Full opaque.
When project over they fire you like they did to me. I am counting my last days with company and putting this review as manager asked me today.
It seeems they are doing this fully in company. Today when I came to put a review I suddenly see so many good reviews most of which arw not true. 4 of us from CTS joined this company over a 3 month time last year and all were different projects and I am 3rd to be fired. The other recent good reviews donot seem true in my view. I leave it to the whoever read this to choose....Read More

SYstem mandates few words here so I am just filling this up
Dislikes
I had one of the worst experiences in this company. Till you join the account manager will be behind you. Once you join they never speak to you. I joined in Pune just 3 months ago for a new client of this company. The payroll company optimum has no idea what we do. Client team also is very confused and they are doing trial and error, this causes design changes and keep on extending timeline. Client is not agreeing that they are now only doing poc. They claim they know what they are building but wont take our recommendations. reality is it is not true. In this new work environment I am just going to leave. I will not making any more new recommendation. Another thing is the pressure from payroll company to chase and get an review online about company. After so much lack of taking care they want review. Unless company puts fix on the problem many in my team itself are exiting....Read More

If your project is over they will throw you out. I am working for a large bank customer. My project is getting over oct 2023 and I am given termination notice. My manager did not tell that this client contract is getting over. They cheated us kept on project. Now it seems optimum contracts with this client itself over and no new projects will come. They say many customers in Chennai location but when I ask they say my salary is high they won't get good bill rate so terminating me. Which means they hire for 1 project only. After that they will finish you. Keep in mind on this when choosing job with them....Read More
